Specially Designed for Top-Quality Sound

Unlike typical small, battery-powered guitar amps that offer so-so sound quality, the BOSS Katana-Mini Guitar Amplifier produces a big, full tone that inspires you to plug in and play for hours at a time. BOSS’s comprehensive design approach includes a custom speaker, advanced hardware, refined circuitry, and special component selection, which all work together to produce maximum sound quality in a minimum footprint. The amp also incorporates BOSS’s decades of research in energy-efficient design, providing class-defying power and punch from only six AA-size batteries.

 

 

 

 

 

Inspiring Tones, Ready to Rock

The Katana-Mini’s all-analog input circuitry includes multiple gain stages that drive three classic sound settings, offering the same cascaded gain approach found in high-end amp designs. This is what gives the Katana-Mini its satisfying tone and quick, interactive feel, with distortion that’s easily controlled with input volume and picking strength. Inspired by BOSS’s flagship Waza amp, the Katana-Mini’s Brown setting delivers expressive, high-gain tones rich with harmonics, perfect for heavy riffs and soaring solos. Crunch provides an overdrive that’s ideal for rock rhythms and bluesy leads, while Clean offers up crisp, sparkling tones with punchy dynamic responses.

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

Analog Tone Stack and Onboard Delay

In contrast to the limited EQs found in other small amps, the Katana-Mini comes equipped with a genuine three-band analog tone stack. It offers natural sound shaping with bass, mid, and treble controls, similar to those in a full-size stage amp. In addition, you can enhance your sound further with the Katana-Mini’s cool tape-style delay. Using the dedicated time and level knobs, it’s simple to dial in everything from the subtle reverb-like ambiance to long, warm delay repeats.

 

 

 

Jam at Home or Grab and Go

Thanks to the Katana-Mini’s advanced yet compact design, you can plug into serious guitar tones any time and any place. Weighing just under three pounds, it sits easily on a tabletop or shelf at home. The amp's integrated handle and battery operation make it easy to play anywhere, indoors or outdoors. The aux input allows you to connect your smartphone and enjoy your personal music library or web-streamed tracks. For private practice and recording, use the phones/recording output with special cabinet voicing for an authentic mic’d amp tone.
